Senior winner, Lee Williams, leads Scott Thwaites
The 10th round of the West Midlands Cyclo-Cross series also incorporated the University championships. Richard Robotham was on hand to capture lots of images as a huge field of over 260 riders turned up to race.
Isla Rowntree, left, was the first woman home
The senior race featured two of the country's top riders in Lee Williams and Scott Thwaites and the pair produced a fine battle, with Glamorgan based Williams just getting the better Yorkshireman Thwaites.
The vet's race went to Paul Millington, with Stuart Clayton claiming fifth and taking the Junior category in the process. Isla Rowntree was 8th and the first woman competitor.
